Cloud Compliance

Are you spending endless hours preparing for the next IT security audit? Has the cloud introduced a whole new set of compliance concerns? Are you missing spending time with the family due to manual compliance processes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then read on my friend, because you are not alone.

One of the biggest headaches IT departments face is the issue of compliance and the dreaded security audit.  Today organizations are feeling even more vulnerable as they migrate to a hybrid or multi-cloud infrastructure. Without a single view and prescriptive remediation for compliance automation of multi-cloud or hybrid infrastructures this feeling is understandable...enter Cavirin.

Cavirin’s closed-loop-security aligns with Gartner’s CARTA (Continuous Adaptive Risk and Trust Assessment) framework:  protect, detect, respond, and predict. We bridge the monitoring to change management gap by not only telling you what is wrong but by helping you automatically remediate any issues found.  This helps you maintain your cybersecurity posture, lowering the risk of hackers infiltrating your infrastructure unnoticed.

The Challenges

• Running a successful security/risk assessment that identifies the current security posture of your entire infrastructure.
• Implementing and automating the proper controls to achieve compliance.
• Leveraging the enterprise own scripts/benchmarks and setting meaningful risk level guidelines.
• Successful AWS compliance automation.
• Access to the documentation of compliance status for workloads running in the cloud and on-premise.
• Auditing and reporting across multiple clouds.
• Limited security controls being used by the cloud provider and the inability to know if they map to certifications required by your organization.
• Real-time visibility into your vulnerabilities in a hybrid infrastructure.
• Simplified compliance reporting with prescriptive remediation.

Cavirin's Solution

• Regular assessments of security vulnerabilities with prescriptive remediations across your entire hybrid infrastructure (cloud, on-premise, and containers).
• Immediate reports/documentation to support compliance with internal security policies to expedite the auditing process.
• The richest library of security frameworks (NIST, DISA, etc.), benchmarks (CIS OS, cloud, and Docker), and guidelines (SOC, ISO, GDPR, PCI, HIPAA) with advanced compliance mapping. Co-author of both Docker and Kubernetes Security Benchmarks from the beginning.
• Risk-driven prioritization of vulnerabilities driven by patent-pending machine learning CyberPosture scoring.
• Complete visibility and management of your entire infrastructure enabling continuous improvement of your security posture.
• Intelligent, proactive, and preventative cybersecurity and risk management.

Benefits of Cavirin

• An automated, robust, cybersecurity, compliance and risk management based program utilizing the richest set of frameworks, benchmarks and guidelines available increasing confidence in the company's security compliance posture.
• A single pane of glass view for compliance automation of diverse, hybrid infrastructures, reducing the labor costs associated with manual compliance efforts.
• Proactive security monitoring moving you from reactive to preventive. Improve results through data analytics and anomaly detection. Predict events and provide recommendations for auto-remediation.
• Ability to fulfill multiple regulatory technical compliance requirements across multiple clouds while centralizing audit information for seamless reporting.
• Introduction of risk security and compliance into code during your development, staging, and deployment cycles.

By implementing the Cavirin solution, organizations automate manual compliance scans and remediation workflows across their hybrid environment, increasing operational efficiency and saving hundreds of man-hours.

Leveraging NIST CSF Playbook

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework, or CSF for short, provides a good playbook for implementing best-in-class cybersecurity.  But what steps must a critical infrastructure organization take to make the best use of its guidance?  This playbook for security professionals and IT managers provides defensive strategies for protecting our most valuable assets from today's cyber threats. It dives into the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) and steps to applying the framework to a few of the key critical infrastructure sectors defined by the US Department of Homeland Security.
